Are You Ready for 2008?

We are fast approaching the end of another year.  And what a year it’s been!  We’ve had baptisms, restorations, new members, and births, all adding to our number at a steady rate.  It seems we are seeing larger attendance figures almost every week.  Let’s all pray and work hard to keep this trend going.  Each of us has a responsibility to do our part in helping the Lord’s church grow; we’ve got the ball rolling so let’s keep it up!

Now is the time to set goals for 2008.  In fact, if you haven’t begun thinking about some already you may be behind.  Here are some you might consider...  Strive to make it to every church service and Bible class.  Become a “Daily Bible Reader.”  If you are in the habit of reading your Bible everyday try reading it through this year; there are several guides out there to help keep on track.  Teach a Bible class.  This can seem intimidating but it can be very rewarding and we always need more teachers.  Start having a family devotional period two or three days a week—in addition to church services.  These are just some ideas; feel free to come up with your own.

I know many of you will be traveling out of town over the next couple of weeks visiting loved ones.  And, while we will miss you here at Pond, we wish you well while you are traveling.  Let us all pray for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

In love,

Thomas Sneed
